Kraken pricing

Entry price: Free
Model: Freemium
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

Kraken plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Starter	Free	3	Entry tier
Pro	Free	3	+$0/month, 3 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Starter

Free

The entry tier. It covers basic trading, staking, instant buy.

Pro

Free

Over Starter, this tier adds:

Advanced trading
Margin trading
Futures

Where Kraken stops being free

Starter, Free

Basic trading
Staking
Instant buy

No paid tier on record

Kraken lists a free tier and no priced tier above it in the record we hold.

How that compares in Personal Finance

Too few personal finance tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Kraken badges page.

Before you pay for Kraken

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and Free, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Kraken runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Payward Inc. of San Francisco, California. The full record is on the Kraken review, and the rest of the category is under best personal finance tools.
